Another day another story

It was a dark Friday evening, I had barely eaten the days prior since I spent all of my monthly stipend partying like a rock-star. I was both tired and famished. Dipping my hands into my pocket all I could find was one TL (Turkish Lira)! Now the options open to a person with one TL are quite limited believe me when I say limited, limited to quite literally nothing!.


That went on for a few hours and like magic my phone rang and it was my friend, my friend whom I hadn't spoken to in months and just out of the blue rings me up!?! I'll do my best to come up with a little above mediocre transcript of the conversation below,

Phone rings
Ghost: Looks, Ahn Ahn! Mr, X is calling! Sharply thinks do I owe him something? Shrugs.

Ghost: Answers, Hello Guy how far ?
Mr, X: I dey now this man you just forget me.
Ghost: Guy no be so! E just get as things be men sigh.
Mr, X: Na so You wan package me abi? You just dey flex your money only you.
Ghost: Keeps quiet,thinking if only you knew (Rolls eyes)
Mr, X: Continues, ah guy you no wan talk abi? Anyway where you dey ?
Ghost: Omo I dey kava apartment near the new harbor. How e dey happen?
 Mr, X: I just say, make I buzz my g make we chill as e be say small thing dey my hand! Ghost: Where you dey?
 Mr, X: I dey city center I go come rise you now oh! Abeg ready I no wan wait 5 mins. Okay?
 Ghost: Ah sure nice 1 we go track! Hangs up.

 Needless to say, that weekend was a blur and even though I was not even financially able to buy myself a meal somehow I survived that day, weekend and even year -laughs- Sometimes as a growing up person LOL! I know I used "growing up" it is is just to emphasize the transformation that occurs as an individual, transitions from kid to adulthood or as Nigerian's call it "coming of age". In my next blog, I will tell you another short story and we will start connecting tales maybe, it will make sense to you or it will not! Sincerely I just hope that you enjoy reading from me. Until next time. Be well!
